Has anyone recovered from PJism?

[isawstars]

I FINALLY have.

I've become fond of mnt, and used some nexxus samples and fell in LOVE. I can't believe I am no longer tempted to try new products. Let me tell you... i was BADDD. My hallmates sometimes left their shampoo or conditioner in the shower stalls and I'm not gonna lie... I tried a little! Yeah well, mnt, nexxus and a few of PM's products are all I need to make me happy. I no longer have that urge.

So keep your eyes open for me at the Hair Product Exchange Forum... i have a lot of good stuff (PM, Kenra, Kera Care...). It's going to be really hard to part from them though.

Yepper Pepper!! I was 'set free' about 6 months ago after I discovered my Indian Oils and treatments. I have pictures in my photo album that show 1 cabinet out of 4 that were stocked FULL of products.

Now, I'm down to two and I'm working my way through those. I need to have another sale/giveaway myself (again) .

I have found the ones but I can't stay faithful. But seriously. I found what I love, but it's hard. I am in recovery though.

Aveda Damage Remedy Line
and Nexxus is what works for me, but I like to explore lol!

I've been in recovery for about a year and a half. I know what works for my hair. Occasionally, I might try something new (like Elucence recently) but other than that, I'm pretty sure on what works for me and have no real need to buy the next best thing.

 

[LaNecia]

Yeah, it was bad! My BF just couldn't understand it, that largely helped me see my 'problem'.

 

[balisi]

Girl, yes!

I have chilled out after giving a ton of stuff to my mother and brothers a month ago. Its was crazy and this wasn't cheap stuff either. I do want to try the neosporin AF. But thats about it. I am still looking for a replacement shampoo. When i see new stuff in the store i just keep walking and leave it alone. I have a few conditioners i really like and i love my leave-in. All i need is a good natural shampoo and i am set.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I can honestly say I have, I was in 2 stores today and didn't pick up not one thing, , I didn't realize it until I saw this thread. But I did really good at gettingg my friend to buy some stuff, .

I used to be a baddd pj... but not anymore. I almost gave in to the temptation about a month ago, I purchased 3 new conditioners (2 full size 1 sample). This is after one full calendar year of staying consistent with my tried and true products. I dont regret it because i found a great condit in ORS replensihing pak, and now i know not to waste my time with other things... in my defense (lol) i was on the lookout for a good moisture conditioner, hence my purchases.

Now that i've tried a few things, im ready to stick to my guns because i know i get better results with consistency.

You stayed consistent for a year? That's awesome!!

Did you see a difference in your hair? or just your wallet?

 

[MonaRae]

I did! Let me tell ya how I know. I just left a restaurant and I had an ice cream cone in hand. There was a BSS next door and I decided to take a look.

Before I could get in I saw the sign that said "Absolutely No Food Allowed"! I politely walk away and finished my ice cream.

hahahah This is a true event!

On the serious side I went back to Aubrey's and don't know why I left. All the other stuff cause major shedding and Aubrey's does not cause this for me.

In both lol . My hair seriously prospered this past year, i went from base of neck to 1.5 inches above brastrap. I'm 5'8 so this is a lot of inches when you also take into consideration i obsessively trim my hair. I also purchase what i like in litre sizes if available, this helps me curb my pj ism too.

I've been good since 1/2006 I did a No PJ ism challenge and weaned myself off all the products, sold some gave some away, now I only buy what works for my hair.

 

[jasmin]

I'm in the recovery stages. I'm still trying to find my hair oil staple and setting lotion. Right now I just replace my staple products and most are within 3 lines that I rotate.

I have the urge to try new products that were on my list before my recovery but I won't buy any until I get rid of all my so, so products which will take me a long time to go through.

I have recovered since I found works for me. I have saved so much money and my cabinet is almost bare. The only thing that I have bought in a couple of months is Mega-Tek which I will try this Friday.
